More quotes by Jack Nicklaus
Learn the fundamentals of the game and stick to them. Band-Aid remedies never last.
Jack Nicklaus
Golf really excites me only when the course is difficult and challenging. I love competing. The pressure of competition against fine holes and fine players makes me feel very much alive.
Jack Nicklaus
Every putt is different. Your feet dictate the stroke by how they feel on the green. I just never used the same stroke on every putt.
Jack Nicklaus
You have to watch your handicap. My son Steve says, Never make a putt you don't have to.
Jack Nicklaus
Through years of experience I have found that air offers less resistance than dirt.
Jack Nicklaus
I couldn't care less who I'm paired with. There's nobody I've ever played better or worse with, thank goodness. You don't want any factor to be outside your control. What if Arnie's Army had bothered me? What id I'd said, Oh geez, I'm paired with Palmer, I'd never had beaten him.
Jack Nicklaus
You're not going to tell me that you're going to find a person who's not a very good athlete and he or she is going to be a great player. But anyone can play the game. That's the nice thing about the game. You don't really have to be a world-class athlete to play the sport [golf] and have fun because of handicap systems.
Jack Nicklaus
I don't care how old your children get, you're always a dad.
Jack Nicklaus
This is a tournament. The others are all championships.
Jack Nicklaus
I never thought about being No. 1. I just kept trying to be No. 1.
Jack Nicklaus
As long as I'm prepared, I always expect to win.
Jack Nicklaus
The long irons are the nemesis of the average golfer. I'm convinced that the underlying reason for this is that he keeps hearing how hard they are to handle. They're not that difficult, truly.
Jack Nicklaus
I guess that's why they call it Hell.
Jack Nicklaus
I can barely turn on my computer!
Jack Nicklaus
I think I fail a bit less than everyone else.
Jack Nicklaus
Tom Watson, Tom Watson blew, what, two PGA Championships and a U.S. Open. Did it destroy his life? No, it didn't destroy his life. He learned from it. He went on to win a lot of major championships and obviously became one of the world's great players.
Jack Nicklaus
I play the Father/Son every year on the PGA TOUR Champions. I split it between Jackie and Gary as my playing partners.
Jack Nicklaus
I never missed a putt in my mind.
Jack Nicklaus
None of the guys did anything. We never did anything. I never really got into the workout room until I was about 40 years old. I was pretty strong and I didn't think I needed that much.
Jack Nicklaus
Golf is not, and never has been, a fair game.
Jack Nicklaus
